You could wire ur subs in parallel, which would make the amp see a single 4ohm load, and then u could bridge one half of ur amp to run ur subs, and still have the other half left to run other speakers. . .


You cant really figure out how much power each of ur subs will recieve accurately if they are running at 8 ohms. The amplifier characteristics tend to change quite alot as impedance goes up. You could estimate (not accurately) by using some basic electricity laws - search on google for them.
